Discussion
Following the passage of a cold front, it’ll be much cooler today for the Yankees home opener and despite plenty of sunshine, temperatures will likely peak in the mid-to-upper 40’s – some ten degrees below the normal for this time of year. It turns much milder on Friday with possibility of late day showers ahead of the next cold front and temperatures can climb to the mid or upper 50’s. Temperatures will climb to even higher levels on Saturday just ahead of the strong cold front perhaps reaching the 70 degree mark, but there will be occasional showers and perhaps even a thunderstorm. The biggest factor from late tomorrow into Saturday will likely be the winds which will be quite strong and potentially damaging with gusts to 50 mph on the table. Despite some sunshine on Sunday, it’ll be noticeably cooler following the next cold frontal passage with temperatures nearly 20 degrees lower than Saturday and there will be a stiff NW wind as well.
